Client Requirement
TDDA initially required the development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a web-based booking system. The platform needed to allow companies to schedule drug tests for their employees seamlessly. Once the MVP proved successful, the client sought to expand the platform’s capabilities, including advanced admin features for tracking meetings and tasks, a mobile-friendly UI/UX, and a nurse portal for streamlined schedule management.
